TracePage PDF
Privacy policy
Summary
TracePage PDF handles the current webpage only when you start a capture. Processing occurs on your device. The extension does not send page content, URLs, capture metadata, generated PDFs, or usage analytics to the publisher or to third parties.
Data the extension handles
To create the PDF you request, TracePage PDF handles:
- Website content: rendered page pixels and page layout measurements needed to capture the visible view or scrollable page.
- Web history information: the URL and title of the active page, used to identify the user-selected source in the capture receipt.
- Capture metadata: the capture time, image dimensions, page count, per-frame SHA-256 values, and an aggregate SHA-256 derived from the ordered frame hashes and byte lengths.
The extension accesses this information only after you invoke it on the active tab and start a capture.
How the data is used
The information above is used solely to capture the page you selected, assemble the PDF, create its capture receipt and page footers, and save the requested PDF and any user-selected JSON or checksum receipt sidecar through Chrome.
Transmission, sharing, and sale
TracePage PDF does not transmit captured content or browsing information to publisher-controlled servers. It does not share or sell user data. It does not use data for advertising, profiling, creditworthiness, lending, or any purpose unrelated to creating the requested PDF.
Storage and retention
Page frames and capture metadata are held temporarily in the local capture workspace while the PDF is created. The generated PDF remains in that workspace's memory until its window closes so you can choose Save PDF again. Closing the workspace releases that temporary extension state, subject to ordinary browser memory management. The downloaded PDF and any user-selected receipt sidecar remain under your control in the location handled by Chrome's download system.
Security
Because capture processing is local, the extension does not transmit captured data over a network. No system can guarantee absolute security; review generated PDFs before storing or sharing them, especially when a page contains private or sensitive information.
Children's data
TracePage PDF is a general-purpose utility and is not directed to children. It does not operate an account service or knowingly collect information from children.
Your choices
You control when capture begins, which active page is captured, and where Chrome saves the PDF. You can stop using the extension or uninstall it at any time. You can delete generated PDFs using your device's file controls.
Changes
If the extension's data practices change, this policy and the Chrome Web Store disclosures will be updated before the changed practices are released. Material changes will be disclosed as required by applicable store policy.
Questions

Limited-use statement
TracePage PDF's use of information received from Chrome APIs is limited to providing and improving its single user-facing purpose: creating the webpage PDF requested by the user. User data is not used or transferred for advertising, profiling, creditworthiness, lending, or unrelated purposes, and is not sold.
